The second is that most of us don’t know how to read a federal budgeting document. The third is that Musk is the richest man on the planet with billions in government contracts. The fourth is that editing an innocuous budget document after someone notices “Tesla” has a line item is weird and speaks volumes about how the federal government is operating under the Trump-Musk presidency.
